      Pros

      Some very creative product lines.

      Cons

      Worst management I have ever seen. Company wide. Managers have very large ego's that constantly need to be fed. No respect for current employees. Outside opinions matter much more to management. Benefits are a joke. Gracious living does not apply to employees. Most people will lie to your face and have no problem with doing it. Upper level managers have no respect for lower level managers. You become just a number. Most budgeting is done with funny money. There are no real checks and balances in a yearly budget.

      Pros

      Cost of living is very low in Sheboygan/Kohler region Kohler Village is a beautiful town full of nice people and amenities

      Cons

      Pay is low as Kohler strives to recruit the best and "pay at the median" Review process is abitrary and unevenly applied throughout the company All decisions are made at the very highest level and in a vacuum Entrenched, "this is how we have always done it" culture Kohler tries to run a luxury hotel using manufacturing processes Consistently confuses the concepts of management versus leadership

      Mostly good, some politics, wondering what the future will hold

      Pros

      Company had a lot of opportunity for personal growth across the various divisions and brands. Wanted to stay leading edge, so always looking for fun and exciting growth

      Cons

      Started to get big enough it was “corporate-y”, and many processes seemed like they were over-hyped and unnecessarily complex. They attempted to streamline but that lead to mass layoffs and a confusing restructuring. Difficult to say what letting hundreds of the top performers go all at once will do.
